Microcrystalline wax is a commonly used wood polish, particularly prevalent in high-end timber maintenance. It forms a transparent, resilient protective film on the wood surface, effectively filling minute gaps in the wood fibres. This enhances the wood's lustre while providing waterproofing and scratch-resistant protection.
Key advantages of microcrystalline wax as a wood polish:
Superior flexibility and adhesion: Its molecular structure, primarily composed of naphthenic and branched-chain alkanes, renders it softer and more elastic than paraffin wax. This allows it to conform closely to the wood surface, resisting cracking or flaking.
Deep penetration, no polishing required: Some modern microcrystalline wax products utilise micromolecular technology to penetrate deep into wood fibres, nourishing the timber. After application, a simple wipe is sufficient to achieve a warm, lustrous finish without the need for traditional polishing equipment.
